Furthermore, I would like to inform you on:

Businesses prepared to construct offshore wind farm without a subsidy

Competition; Energy landscape of the future

Businesses prepared to construct offshore wind farm without a subsidy

Businesses are prepared to start constructing and operating the Hollandse Kust (zuid) Wind Farm Sites I and II without any contribution from the government. This situation means that an offshore wind farm will be built without any subsidy. Market players had until today to submit their applications for a permit to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. The applications submitted will be assessed over the next few months and the party with the best proposal will be declared the winner. As from 2022, the Dutch wind farm in the North Sea will have to start supplying one million households with sustainably produced electricity.

Competition; Energy landscape of the future

In 2017 The Netherlands did only provide six percent of the energy demand with other than fossil energy sources. We do want sustainable energy but without impact on our landscape and our environment. How can we use the space around us more intelligently so that we generate clean energy and make our landscape more beautiful at the same time? In order to find answers to this question, the Coöperatie NederLandBovenWater organizes a competition; Energy landscape of the Future. The organization is looking for innovative sustainable energy ideas that improve landscape-spatial qualities and create support among residents and entrepreneurs.
In January 2018 NederLandBovenWater organizes three information meetings:

Thursday 18 January in Breda: rural area

Tuesday, January 23 in Middelburg: watery area

Thursday 25 January in Zwolle: urban area

Closing registration of the competition: 30 March 2018 at 12:00 CET
Deadline entries first round: April 2, 2018, at 12:00 CET
